Don't blame the girl She won't do you wrong The veil she wears on her long dark hair, Mary would have done Don't blame the boy He won't do you wrong The fist he shakes at the giant's face, David would have done Beware If you turn to face your fears It will disappear, like it wasn't there Don't blame them They're just an illusion Why chase the ghosts outside Turn and see between your eyes There stands the one you hide So wait Understand the world you hate And go where the plate Love will know the rate Don't blame the child, and don't blame the men Don't blame us and don't blame them Don't blame her, and don't blame him Don't blame the world, and don't blame time Don't blame the weather if it don't shine Don't blame the sun if it makes you blind Don't blame the stars that you can't touch Don't blame the food if you gobble too much Don't blame money if it don't grow Don't blame the river if it don't flow Don't blame the people that you don't know Don't blame people who tell you to 'Cause in the end they're gonna blame you
